Early 20th-Century French Shop Counter w/ Distressed Paint - 81"

This early 20th-century shop counter features a charming, timeworn patina with layers of faded white and blue paint, evoking a coastal ambiance. Crafted from pine and plywood, it has an open-shelving design that offers ample storage. The contrast between the distressed exterior and the vibrant blue interior adds character, reflecting years of functional use. 

Once a central piece in a boutique or general store, this counter would have served as a display and storage unit for goods or ledgers. Such utilitarian furniture was built to withstand heavy daily use, often repainted over the years to match changing interiors. Today, its weathered finish and maritime tones bring to mind the sun-bleached charm of seaside shops and cafés.

Perfect for a coastal-inspired interior, this piece works beautifully as a kitchen island, a retail display, or a large console for books and decorative objects. Its raw, aged aesthetic pairs well with natural materials like linen, rattan, and reclaimed wood, reinforcing the relaxed elegance of a seaside retreat. Whether used in a home or commercial space, it brings history, function, and effortless style.
